State of North Dakota Buying Hotel Rooms and Bus Tickets Home for #NoDAPL Protesters

[BrokenBackJack]

If this is true this is totally a bunch of BS. Why should the taxpayer be on the hook for one more thing?

Can't they put a big spring on the door at the "assistance" center so when they walk out it hits them so hard in the ass it knocks them into SD and save on the out of state tickets?

 

[Pinecone]

keep SD out of this

Considering a lot of those arrested were bailed out by their $1500 bond being paid by a guy from Sisseton SD I think that's the perfect place to "spring ass" them.

 

[Petras]

This is phucked. My tax dollars had better not be paying for this shit... I want to know who authorized it so I n know who to vote against next go round

 

[LBrandt]

Cheaper than putting them in jail, feeding them, warm place to sleep, showers, and then let go with a slap on the wrist and a bus ticket.

 

[Kurtr]

yep big picture is this is alot cheaper and also makes the govt look good as most will not take this offer and now they can go in and bust heads. You guys need to look more than one step ahead not very many chess players here.....

Post that info as i used to run around sisseton and know lots of people would like to know who. If i had to guess it is the tribe there or some form of it.

I understand about being cheaper to ship them out but arrest them and have this on their record.
How do you feel about storing their items?
Also read where we are going to store some of their items for 90 days just in case they are going to want it down the road.
What the heck you had how many months warning and if you want the stuff take it now or it is gone. Who the heck comes up with these ideas????

Holy fart balls is this getting re-damndiculous….I mean seriously WTF, it is these peoples ( I use the term loosely) choice to protest..they are choosing it nobody is making them. Why should any person or government entity do anything to accommodate them? Our state needs to take a stand on this issue and quit flopping back and forth…you either support protest and lend full support or you do not support the protest and maintain a peace keeping directive…quit making it so dang complicated

 

[Walleye_Chaser]

Yeah storing the items for 90 days seems a bit much. They're doing everything they can think of it seems for the protesters to not make any excuses of why they can't leave.

 

[eyexer]

These ass hats are making a mockery of this state

 

[johnr]

Burn the stuff, sweep it up, put it in a nice little package, and send it with them on their way to the bus station

 

[Davy Crockett]

It burns me up to think they could have nipped this in he bud.

 

[1pingonly]

Kick out day in full swing... we'll see how long it actually takes to get the trash (and the trash), out of there.

 

[BrokenBackJack]

350+ truck loads and counting.

 

[Kurtr]

So by truck loads do you mean side dump or dump truck or roll off. I would like to know who is counting and compare it with a number that i know is fact.

should burn it all and it would be way less to haul out

 

[Mort]

Yup.....in hindsight they just dragging it along, pee dabbling bargaining tit for tat...this bs gotta stop now..and why give them free stuff, place to stay...if us taxpayers have to pay for it, then we sure as hell should be able to deduct it off our taxes for like the next 10 yrs....I mean really, wtf is our state officials thinking. then I just saw on FB, they extended the deadline to 4 PM...then they'll say we need more time, make it friday...etc etc etc...

I am guessing they mean total truck loads and not separating side dumps from roll off loads. This was in the Forum i think this morning. Read it on one of the online newspapers. Will post if i can find it again.
Lots of loads coming north on Sunday.
It is in this link 350 loads as of tuesday said Major French Pope of the Army Corps.

How many loads do you say have been taken out so far?

I agree it should all have been burned and then hauled to the REZ or maybe just hauled to the REZ without burning.

 

[Kurtr]

well unless they have a guy sitting there counting all of them i dont know if they got all the ones going to the south. i will just put it as alot of loads

Not a single person took the offer. Oh well.
